Answer» Quote from: JJ 3000 on January 07, 2009, 09:52:55 PM I think he means the command line. which is not DOS. DOS stands for Disk Operating System. Windows GUI commands don't translate into XP command interpreter commands. they translate into Windows API calls into windows libraries such as kernel32,user32,GDI32, advapi32, shell32, etc. Claiming otherwise is simply expressing ones complete ignorance.I know command is not DOS if you ever were to think that then you would be acting a bit dull but what windows is, is a graphic enviroment that a whole bunch of commands and programming are put into dos and the computers memory so I don't really think that you know what you are talking about... Read a unix book, there you will find where it all start then you can start to move on from there. And just so you know I don't carry a shovel with me so I can't put it down, let alone dig. Tan_ZaWindows has absolutely nothing to do with DOS, which has nothing to do with LINUX, or UNIX for that matter. I used to use Linux, but there was something about having to manually install a new Kernel update every week or so that often made half my existing programs need to be updated as well that just didn't sit right. I'm sorry Tan_za, but do you even KNOW what the windows API IS? What your saying is BASICALLY that Windows is to DOS what, for EXAMPLE, Gnome is to a Linux distribution. There is NO TRACE of DOS in LINUX. you can say it over and over, but it isn't true. Can you even give sources for any of your random claims that basically mean that Microsoft owns Linux? I didn't think so. (and I mean, you know, reputable sources, not some random geocities site). I'm quite sure your confusing the term DOS to mean any command-line interface, which is a misnomer if ever I saw one.I'm not confusing it with anything, what happened was that when windows XP came out for about 3 months it had DOS then microsoft said "oh hello people wake up!!! we need to make windows ours not anybody else's"(I'm not sure that they said that but something along those lines) DOS was owned by a company that microsoft would pay for but yes then after 3 months or around that they decided to kill dos and make windows their own. Linux on the other hand made something similar to DOS which is what I got mixed up with so I'm sorry on the front. With windows I was USING it when it had DOS. For the first week I had it I thought that it was no good and got linux. The only reason I thought that windows still used dos is because of my PAST experience with windows XP before they got rid of DOS. My co-workers just told me that while we were inserting a new sever, so yes I am sorry about current day windows. But still you didn't have to be so GDR, Tan_ZaQuote from: Tan_Za on January 08, 2009, 12:12:54 AM But still you didn't have to be so GDR, German Democratic Republic? That vanished in the early 1990s. Tan_Za, are you a communist? You are certainly a fool and a proto-troll. Be careful lest a bad thing happens to your user account. Is that God-Damned-Rude enough for you?LOL very well done I was waiting for some body to be smart and say that but thats ok. Tan_ZaI can't believe no one Reported to Moderator. I have removed the attachment. I am also closing this topic. If anyone has any comments or if anyone wants this unlocked for whatever reason, please PM me. |
